COUNCIL PLANS
CUT IN PAY OF
CITY RECORDER
A warning to the two candidates
for city recorder that a movement
is under way in the city council
to cut the salary erf the recorder
In half after the first of next year
was sounded Tuesday by H. H. Van
devort, alderman from the first
ward.
The warning. Vandevort said, is
Issued at thia time in order that
there may be no misunderstanding
by the successful candidate and no
suspicion that the movement when
it comes has been inspired by po
litical motives, and is simply a part
of an economy program which some
members of the council have had
under serious consideration since the
first of this year.
Diminishing activity of the street
paving department, with its attend
ant decrease in revenues, is the In
spiration for the retrenchment pro
posal which was first broacned by
Alderman Dancy and recommended
to the council by Mayor Livesley in
his annual message. The street
Improvement fund, which is created
by s special 30 per cent assessment
added to the cost of all street pav
ing projects, has been seriously de
pleted daring the past several
months and now shows ft balance of
only $10,574.95.
with omy a lew smau paving
projects in sight foe the coming
summer there is no prospect that
the receipts from the 30 per cent
assessment will be anywhere near
equal to the heavy drain upon the
fund in the payment of salaries.
At present the city recorder draws
a salary of $300 a month, $100 as
recorder and $100 as city purchas
ing agent, and while both are paid
out of funds appropriated in the
budget and none oi the money
comes out of the street improve
ment fund; most of the work as
purchasing agent is In connection
with the street and sewer depart
ments and when street and sewer
work is slack there is no Justifi
cation for paying ft purchasing
agent for work he does not perform,
Vandevort pointed out.
He proposes that the salary ox the
purchasing agent be eliminated
from the budget for 1931,
The recorder is not to be the only
target for the retrenchment cam
paign, Vandevort explained, fore
casting an early attempt In the
council to stop the payment of other
unearned salaries out of the street
improvement fund on the ground
that the cessation of paving opera-
tlens has relieved .various city of
ficials and employes of the work for
which they are theoretically being
paid.
Besides the regular staff of as
sistants in the city engineer's of
fice the employes drawing all or
part of their salaries out of the
street improvement fund are the
city attorney, $50; street commis
sioner, $100; city engineer, $100;
stenographer to city attorney, $00;
assistant city recorder, $25. These
monthly amounts are In addition to
the regular salaries provided for in
the budget appropriations.

Paris (IP) The names "linen" and
